Protecting livelihoods matters. In Patna, the Revenue and Land Reforms Department has directed that street vendors should not be displaced without proper alternatives and designated vending spaces. The focus on rehabilitation before eviction is a step towards more inclusive urban planning that protects the rights and livelihoods of informal workers.
NASVI stands for the rights, dignity, and livelihood security of street vendors, and continues to advocate for their protection and inclusion in city planning.
